"hamster" is a client application that connects to the RM, asks it to create an
AM with 32 containers, and after all of those are launched, executed a.out
inside them, after setting some environment variables for connecting to the AM
to get the "node list".

Milind, I'm fairly ignorant about OpenMPI - does this mean you don't need a
'unix process' other than the one running a.out itself? Or, do you still need
to run some other daemon to then fork a.out?

> MPI is commonly used for many machine-learning applications. OpenMPI
> (http://www.open-mpi.org/) is a popular BSD-licensed version of MPI. In the
> past, running MPI application on a Hadoop cluster was achieved using Hadoop
> Streaming (http://videolectures.net/nipsworkshops2010_ye_gbd/), but it was
> kludgy. After the resource-manager separation from JobTracker in Hadoop, we
> have all the tools needed to make MPI a first-class citizen on a Hadoop
> cluster. I am currently working on the patch to make MPI an
> application-master. Initial version of this patch will be available soon
> (hopefully before September 10.) This jira will track the development of
> Hamster: The application master for MPI.
